Samsung To Launch 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, Advancing All-in-One Comfort Lifestyle

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the upcoming launch of the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo,[1] an upgrade to its all-in-one laundry solution that has helped create a more comfortable lifestyle at home by eliminating the need to transfer laundry between separate machines.

Following the product’s unveiling at CES in January, Samsung is now sharing full launch details — including an upgraded AI cycle, enhanced drying performance and a more advanced voice experience — to highlight the 2026 model’s improvements.

“Since its debut, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo has helped simplify one of the most repetitive household routines through true all-in-one convenience,” said Hyoung Min Park, VP and Head of the Customer Experience Team for the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the 2026 model, we’re building on that comfort lifestyle with upgrades that make laundry smarter and easier to manage, while delivering greater flexibility for everyday loads.”

Upgraded AI Wash & Dry + Enables More Precise, Automatic Optimization

At the core of the all-in-one experience, the 2026 model integrates AI Wash & Dry +,[2] upgrading the intelligence that supports smart optimization of washing and drying. Using enhanced sensing and AI-based analysis, AI Wash & Dry + uses multiple sensors to optimize performance for each load. It detects weight to determine the right amount of water and detergent, identifies five fabric types for smaller laundry loads[3] — including Outdoor and Denim — and monitors soil levels in real time to adjust the cycle for better results with less manual input.

Added Flexibility With Expanded Drying Capacity

The 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo launches with upgrades designed to enhance drying performance and help users handle larger loads with more flexibility. The booster heat exchanger in the heat pump enhances its efficiency, allowing the combo to support up to a 20kg load of drying. It also helps finish Super Speed cycle in 92 minutes,[4] giving greater convenience for households.

The upgraded combo also features Auto Open Door+,[5] which both automatically opens the door and activates internal air circulation[6] after wash-only cycles to help prevent laundry left in the drum from developing a musty odor.

A More Advanced Bixby Brings Natural, Conversational Control to the Home

Samsung is also bringing a more advanced Bixby[7] experience to the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo. Bixby enables users to monitor and control connected Samsung devices directly from a single appliance,[8] making it easier to handle everyday routines across the home. While loading laundry, a user could say, “Start the robot vacuum in the living room” or “Turn on the air purifier,” without needing to unlock their phone or leave the laundry area.

Now, with improved understanding capabilities, Bixby goes beyond fixed commands to understand natural, conversational requests. For example, users can simply say, “Can you wash this before 11 p.m.?” or “Start a normal wash, but add an extra rinse,” and Bixby will understand and carry out the request.

Availability

To meet different regional needs and broaden consumer choice, Samsung will roll out the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo with lineup options that vary by market. In select regions, Samsung will also introduce more affordable model options,[9] expanding availability across price segments while maintaining the core all-in-one convenience. As such, the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo will roll out in select markets throughout 2026.

[1] The features listed only apply to WD90H******* models.

[2] AI Wash & Dry +’s detection and sensing capabilities are based on Samsung deep learning models trained using a predefined set of data and may yield inaccurate or incorrect results. New datasets may be introduced to our learning models from time to time to enhance its accuracy.

[3] Based on AI-based algorithm and internal testing using the AI Wash & Dry + cycle on an IEC 3kg load. A turbidity sensor operates for all weights, while fabric sensing operates for 3kg and under. Actual results may vary depending on individual use. Fabric sensing uses an AI algorithm and is activated only when AI Wash & Dry+ cycle is selected. It senses 5 fabric types (Normal, Delicates, Towels, denim, outdoor) for loads up to 3 kg. Mixed fabrics may reduce detection accuracy. Actual results may vary depending on individual use. To prevent wear, wash like fabrics together.

[4] Based on internal testing for the cycle time measured when drying a DOE (50% cotton / 50% polyester) 4.5 kg load (based on bone dry) with a Super Speed cycle on model WD*0H***H***.

Test conditions include Super Speed cycle, wash temp. set to Warm, rinse set to 2, spin set to Extra High, dryness level set to Normal, room temp. of 23℃, and tap water temp. of 15℃/48.9℃. Results may vary depending on actual usage environment.

[5] Auto Open Door+ automatically opens the door and blows air to help remove moisture inside the drum more quickly. The default setting for Auto Open Door is ‘Open immediately’. This also can be changed in Settings > Washer > Auto Open Door to “Open 5 mins later”

[6] Auto Open Door+’s airflow operates only after a wash-only cycle is completed. The default setting for the airflow is Off, and this can be changed in Settings > Washer > Auto Open Door.

[7] Bixby is Samsung’s brand of Internet of Things (IoT) voice assistant. Bixby service availability may vary depending on country. Bixby recognizes selected languages and certain accents/dialects. The user interface may change and differ by device. The availability of Bixby features and content providers may vary depending on the country/carrier/language/device model/OS version. A Samsung account log-in and data network connection (Wi-Fi or data network) are required.

[8] Applicable only to Samsung devices connected via the SmartThings app, available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required.

[9] Availability of more accessible models varies by region. Feature sets and specifications may differ by model.
